<![CDATA[Background: As an internal factor, self-efficacy is expected to influence the level of mental resilience in adolescents, particularly in managing the stress and pressure they face in academic and social environments. Objective: This study aims to provide deeper insight into the role of self-efficacy in supporting resilience in adolescents. Method: This study uses the Systematic Literature Review method by collecting 12 references from studies published between 2017 and 2023. The review process was conducted using a meta-synthesis approach, which allowed researchers to identify, assess, and interpret findings from various studies relevant to the research topic to answer the questions set beforehand. Result: The results of the literature analysis show a positive correlation between self-efficacy and resilience in adolescents. Adolescents with high levels of self-efficacy tend to have better abilities in facing academic, social, and emotional challenges. This study also reveals that self-efficacy plays an important role in increasing mental resilience and helping adolescents more effectively overcome their problems. Originality/Value: This review article provides a significant conceptual contribution to the field of developmental psychology, adolescent mental health, and educational counseling by synthesizing literature on the predictive role of self-efficacy in fostering adolescent psychological resilience amid academic and social stressors, a topic with limited comprehensive meta-synthetic appraisal. This study maps existing theoretical and methodological gaps while serving as a strategic reference for researchers, school counselors, educational psychologists, and mental health practitioners in guiding future research agendas and developing self-efficacy-based intervention frameworks to enhance adolescent resilience in educational settings.]]>
